      Typical modern CEO attitude on display here. The buck stops with me, except when it is inconvenient.

      David Carr mentioned the editorial at the Wall Street journal and the Daily Show has run segments on how Rupe's properties are now practicing "Willful Blindness".

      The Wall Street Journal made its own news this past week with a strongly worded July 18 editorial defending the company and lashing out at the “commercial and ideological motives of our competitor-critics.”

      A study looked at front-page coverage of the Journal and by way of comparison, the New York Times from 2007-2011.

      Under the Australian-born media magnate, coverage has clearly moved away from what had been the paper’s core mission under previous ownership—covering business and corporate America. In the past three and a half years, front-page coverage of business is down about one-third from what it had been in 2007, the last year of the old ownership regime.

      That, to some degree, reflects the Journal’s move toward a more general interest publication. And some categories of news, such as coverage of government, foreign news involving the U.S. and lifestyle subjects, have increased noticeably in recent years. Yet attention to other subject areas has fallen. Front-page coverage of health and medicine has been de-emphasized the past few years. Education issues have virtually disappeared from the front pages as has—ironically enough, given the current state of affairs—attention to the media industry.

      It is sad really.

      Wow, what a soap opera. This is like a Super Bowl for media types.

      Speaking of Hugh Hefner, what are the chances that Casey Anthony is shacking up with him at the Playboy Mansion. . I think she is.

      Oh yeah on the "Willful Blindness".

      In fact, that might be the real motto over at Fox News.

      WOW what a smoking wife the "Dirty Digger" has. At 80 he could teach that old man Hugh Hefner (85) a thing or two.

      Not only is she 38 years younger than ol' Rupe she is four light years quicker, and unlike the women I know, she stands up and throws a punch.

      WOW again! Almost too good to be real.

      Fox news ownership is condemnation enuff for a bigot such as I. The world will be better off w/o him on top (of anything).

      I don't know what this kind of legislative hearing is ever supposed to accomplish beyond humiliation. I would have guessed nothing of significance was said, and I don't think it ever is. Of course, if the subject is under criminal investigation he cannot be expected to discuss specifics. And Murdoch is 80. Men in his position have to rely on others anyway, indeed are in their hands. My experience, BTW, is that you don't want to fool with Chinese or Korean women, especially not wives and mothers. They may not be gold-diggers, but are certainly no-nonsense, and entirely unsentimental. She was a volleyballer, I understand, and has appeared on this program. Whether anyone knew what Coulson, did or didn't do, our own press secretaries have rarely been unpolitical, and an admin would be silly to hire one from the opposite party. I see tho he set up page3.com; definitely my kind of guy. And I see Burns still knows his Attwood. But it won't do, and it's irrelevant besides.
